Vegetarian Family Meals and Menus

It can be tough coming up with vegetarian menus for young children to eat. Kids are notoriously picky eaters. The following are by no means gourmet, but they work for me. We eat eggs and cheese, so these are ovo-lacto vegetarian meals. There are two (small) kids and two adults in our family, so these meals are sized for that. All of these meals are very humble, but it took me some time to figure them out. I hope this blog will be useful to other parents.

The Vegan Family Cookbook

The publisher of the Vegan Family Cookbook sent me a free review copy. So it's about time I posted a review, eh? Well it's a very nice cookbook, vegan obviously, laid out one recipe per page. Tonight I made the Biscuit Casserole Stew. It took me about 45 minutes. Our son Bobby liked it pretty well, but our daughter Stacia was in some kind of mood and refused to even taste it. Us adults liked it very much. It's an unusual dish (to me at least) wherein you make a hearty veg stew, pour it in a baking dish and top it off with biscuit dough, then bake.


It's a worthwhile cookbook to have, esp. if you are a vegan family. I myself often depend on cheese sauces to make the meal a hit with the kiddies. There are fine recipes in this book and I'm sure I will be trying more of them.
